The Borders
Section 63 – Desert Sand
Afterwards Kashel and Rainer brought a bag large enough for their supplies. Through air and land routes that take a few days and finally they arrive at the starting point of their journey.
They had to go through the vast desert by just riding a horse, as there were no safe vehicles to drive for the area. The two of them had already entered the territory of the Knights of Light.
However, even though the area was the power of the Knights of Light but there were many occupied by powerful dark spirits that roamed. Kashel and Rainer had to be very careful on their way when the time entered the night.
The Dark Spirit was drawn to come there, because that powerful force of light wanted them to destroy. In order to weaken the power of the Light World, ease their goal to rule this world.

"Hot." Murmured Kashel, his whole life was only the first time he went to the desert as it is now, he also did not expect he would arrive at that place as well.
Kashel who had just learned to ride a little lost his focus. He is a fairly quick guy who is good at riding although a little stiff.
"Kashel focus, or wrong we'll end up walking later." Obviously Rainer approached Kashel who already looked unfocused.
"Alright, Uncle. I can't stand the heat being too hot like this." Kashel. Then he stopped for a moment, opened his jacket so stay put on a short-sleeved shirt and keep wearing the hat he was wearing.
"So it's better now" Rainer asked him to speak after seeing a slightly relieved Kashel.
"Umm, it's still hot but it's better than that. I didn't expect the desert to be this hot." Kashel looks a little excited now.
"We have to find Kashel's oasis, to rest for the night. I hope you're not surprised by the temperature change at night." Obviously Rainer, Kashel just nodded at him.
Their journey felt so smooth as it was still daytime so there was no need to worry about the Spirit of Darkness, it was according to Kashel. But suddenly there was a hot wind blowing through the two of them.
"Wine! Kashel's looking for shelter." Rainer instantly turned from the hot wind that suddenly came.
"Huh, what's up?" The confused Kashel just went along.
"The Kashel sandstorm. Help me find shelter." Obviously Rainer and Kashel who knew the immediate surroundings he was panicking, it was a really stressful experience for Kashel.
Not in the disturbance of the Spirit of Darkness, they had to endure with nature.
"Don't panic and stay calm Kashel, we'll find someplace safe." Rainer calms Kashel. Kashel just nodded trying to calm herself down.
Then Kashel saw a large rock band.
"Uncle, is that place for us to take shelter." Kashel pointed to the place he saw far enough away only faintly visible. Rainer watched him afterwards, making sure it wasn't just an eye illusion because they were overheated.
"Let's get there soon." Take Rainer riding in front of Kashel and Kashel follows him well.
They finally reached the rocky hill just as the sandstorm started coming towards them. In order for the horse they were carrying not to panic they tied it tight.
"Use a Kashel mask and goggles." Rainer ruled over Kashel calmly, Kashel also followed him calmly. Take your supplies from inside the bag.
A strong sandstorm passed through them, and the two horses they were carrying were shocked by the storm. But it didn't make them run away because they were tied up.
"You're good enough for your first experience of the Kashel sandstorm." Praise Rainer to Kashel.
"That's all thanks to Uncle guiding me so well." Kashel said, he felt he was not as great as Rainer said.
"Calm down, generally sandstorms occur from morning to evening. But this sandstorm will pass us soon. Because this sandstorm was running Kashel. So we can only wait for him." Obviously Rainer.
After about an hour of survival the sandstorm was all over them, but the two of them were forced to walk after it because the horse they were carrying looked like fatigue. The water supply they were carrying was also depleted, they had to find an oasis as soon as possible.
Kashel, who is unusual for such extreme weather, now looks very tired because he has to walk.
"Revelation!" Rainer caught Kashel's hand which suddenly slipped.
"I-I'm sorry, Uncle." Kashel felt bad he could not take it anymore and drank his water supply which stayed a little.
"Be careful Kashel, you're almost in the quicksand." Rainer's words seemed to make Kashel surprised and he looked at the hole he was about to enter. He just found out that the hole is quicksand.
"We must continue the journey of Kashel," Rainer took with him and continued his journey.
Kashel immediately stood up even though he felt very exhausted. Finally the oasis they were looking for managed to find in the afternoon.
Rainer immediately washed his face, the exhausted Kashel was more concerned with lying down to rest. Because for a few hours. Rainer made him really not stop walking.
Rainer brought the water to Kashel with the bottle he was carrying.
"Thank you, Uncle." Kashel accepted it, drank it quickly and spilled the rest on his face. Kashel continued his rest again, he did not want to do anything now.
"We can't relax Kashel tonight we still have to be vigilant, you know. The Spirit of Darkness will be in action tonight. Oh, my God, this kid." Kashel had not listened to Rainer's words he had fallen asleep because of exhaustion.
Though on this journey it was also training for Kashel to be stronger than before, but since Kashel was still an ordinary person it meant nothing for the time being. The power still has its limits.
Rainer knew, if it was just an ordinary Spirit of Darkness it would not mean much to Kashel as he would not be affected by the presence of the Spirit of Darkness if his spirit glasses were not used. He simply let Kashel fall asleep because he could not bear to force Kashel to fight. He did not want Kashel to get hurt, as was worrying about his own family.
However, not long after Kashel woke up from his sleep, about an hour he slept when his strength felt fully restored.
"Are you feeling better?" asked Rainer who was sitting cooking warm water in front of the campfire. Kashel rubbed his eyes.
"I overslept," Kashel walked over to Rainer. It was not too late. The sun just sunk.
SHAWLS!
Kashel suddenly felt shivering. He who was only wearing a thin t-shirt hurriedly looked for his jacket. Kashel fell asleep covered by Rainer.
"I'm really tired, Uncle. It turned out to be this vast outdoors" said Kashel warming himself in front of a campfire and sitting next to Rainer.
"What size of the world do you see Kashel?" Rainer was curious he had never heard of Kashel's past well before he only knew Kashel was the son of the Kendrick family who was not considered and as the soul container candidate of The Borders.
"Before, I only lived in my family's residence, Uncle. I used to live in my room." Kashel.
"After that I only knew the Spiritual Academy, until I finally met Uncle and knew that the world was this vast. Although, to be honest I'm tired if I have to explore it like this continuously. But it's also fun rather than just staying there." Kashel was seen smiling after finishing his story, Kashel even knew what it was like to be cared for by others.
